1. Seahorses

The guys go all out to impress ladies under the sea. Male seahorses actually carry the babies - what human woman wouldn't go for that? Female seahorses visit their hubby daily, hold his fin, flirt, engage in some snout-on-snout kissing and even change colors for them. Talk about pampering! Before all of this even happens, the seahorses engage in a courtship dance that can last up to eight hours!

2. Albatrosses

Now, these guys are die-hard romantics. They spend more than 10 years learning the art of courtship before even taking on a mate. Dating in the albatross world involves a lot of dancing - they're just like humans in that regard - and the albatross will go through many dance partners before settling on the right one. Afterwards they use their mating dances to develop their own unique form of communication with one another. It's the language of love, y'all.

4. Lovebirds

The appropriately named lovebirds start searching for a life partner shortly after birth, with most settling down by the time they're 2 months old. They're famous for their love of cuddling and dancing to impress. Once they have kids, the father will spend his days hunting down food to prepare breakfast-in-nest for his wife - the sign of a true romantic.

5. Bonobos

Our animal ancestors have more in common with us than you might think. Bonobos are one of a few species that mate while face-to-face. They also engage in open-mouthed kissing, another rarity in the animal kingdom. Careful though, ladies: These guys have some overprotective mamas who aren't afraid to throw down in a fight.

6. Bowerbirds

Valentine's Day is all about showing your special someone you care about them - usually with impressive gifts. The bowerbirds must've spent a lot of time around humans because they've picked up this habit, and it works wonders. Male bowerbirds construct magnificent towers of twigs, grass and nuts to attract females, and even gift them with colorful pieces of trash lying around. (Hm, let's call them "vintage" presents.) And that's not all: The males also engage in a pretty sexy jig to swoop ladies off their feet.

7. Penguins

Bowerbirds aren't the only animals who've mastered the art of gift-giving: Penguins know their ladies like a big rock to show off to their friends - and these guys take it a little literally. Male penguins will search for hours for the perfect smooth stone to woo a lady with, and they've even been known to battle it out with other males for the perfect rock. If she likes his present, they'll become mates - often for life. They're also totally into that whole co-parenting thing, with each of them splitting incubating duties equally.
